Well, let the countdown begin. Only five chapters remain now… I'm really surprised, though. I never expected this saga to go so far. I expected only a short one shot, not a 20 story series! Oh well, I can't say I'm happy about this series ending, but it aint exactly over yet. I've still got all of the revisions, which will go from If Only You Knew to Double Trouble, and of course, the missing story in my timothy saga… anyways, lets begin, shall we?
Note: Since Jake has mastered the Fire element, his powers are very similar to the Firebenders' in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I do not own that, or the Firebenders.
III – I
Yin, Yang
Jake followed his clone to a large steel and wood door. In the center was a golden dragonhead, split down the middle. One was the face of Yin, and the other of Yang. "Yang's prison?"
"Yes. It is also connected to the underworld, and the 'antiverse' as we call it. The underworld was too small to hold all of Yang's children, with millions being born a day. The antiverse is like your world, but opposite, created to give them joy, so they wouldn't try to escape. Yang was jealous. He destroyed the antiverse to make his children angry, and began lying to them. As he conquers your world, it will get sucked into the antiverse, and the antiverse into your world. Across every dimension, this exact moment is happening… with alternate Yins, and alternate Yangs."
"So when one of us dies, they are sucked into the antiverse?"
"Yes. And when Yang is done, he will rule over both with an iron fist. We of the council have known this since the beginning, but haven't told you. You have a part of all of us within you, and vice versa. We never thought you were ready. After all, you are only human."
"And so are all of you. Deep down, that's all any of us are."
"Jake, do you know how any of us came into existence?"
"No. But I would like to know the truth now. No more lies."
"Of course. Days were dark back then. There was no order… no balance… it was horrible. We hoped and prayed for something to end it… we finally got what we wanted. That's when Yin and Yang were born… their powers were so great… all who saw the, gained a part of their power. They were worshipped as gods… but technically, that's what they are. That's when the original council was created. Fate, Sadness, Joy, Power, Pain, Destruction, Contempt, Order, Chaos, Hate, Love, Yin, Yang, Darkness, Light, and the four elements, Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. We knew what we had to do… we knew our place. We were to create balance. But we were split… Yin had his side: Joy, Order, Love, Light, Wind, and Water… and Yang had his: Pain, Destruction, Chaos, Sadness, Darkness, Earth and Fire. Fate, Power, and Contempt were created to keep us together… to create balance. But Yang had other plans. He rebelled and killed the elemental warriors, along with Contempt. It was horrible… Yang was on a rampage… until Yin came. They fought for days, weeks, with no victor. But that's when Yang began playing dirty. He tricked his brother and killed him. Balance was gone. The world was once more plunged into Chaos until we sealed Yang. Over the years, the seal faded. I'm sure you know the rest from the book of Yin and Yang, though."
"Yes. Order and Chaos were then trusted with the world's balance until Yang corrupted Chaos."
"Correct. Jake… what lies beyond this door is pure evil."
"It's the underworld… I've been there before."
"The underworld is nothing compared to what you're about to experience. Beyond this door is the antiverse. The antiverse has a priceless treasure to keep it going… the body of Yin." Jake raised an eyebrow. "Your true self lies within these doors, in the darkest part of the antiverse, the temple of Yin and Yang." The doors began to open and Kaje stepped back. "Good luck."
… … … … …
Jake appeared in the burning, war-torn world known as the antiverse. "Death… destruction… eternal cries of woe… if this is the antiverse, I wonder why Yang wanted to leave…" He asked himself. He looked around and saw that pieces of the antiverse were disappearing, and pieces of earth were taking their place. "Its already begun… I have to hurry." He said. He slowly walked down the crumbling streets and torn up buildings, until he saw the only thing left standing completely: The temple of Yin and Yang. As he entered, hundreds of Yang's minions ambushed him. "Thanks for the welcome, bro." He said. He punched the air, flames shooting out of his palms. "That all you've got?" Jake asked, dodging each and every blow that the demons dished out. Flying demons soon began spitting fireballs at Jake, who just reversed their direction back on them. "How sad… my brother forgot I am the master of fire." Soon, several ice and wind demons, along with a few earth demons began attacking Jake. "Lets see what happens when all four elements collide, shall we?" Jake asked. The demons tried to run, but it was too late. As soon as the four attacks hit each other, a super nova obliterated the entire temple. "I guess it was just too much power." A large statue was the only thing left standing in the entire temple (er, former temple. It doesn't exist anymore…), which looked a lot like Jake. "This is it." He said. "I finally found it."
"So you have." Jake turned to see none other then Al, (er Chaos, er… I don't know anymore) still possessed by the Demon of Chaos.
"Chaos! It's over!"
"I can't let you regain your true self, Jake. It's too much power! I was chosen to guard it from you, long before Yang corrupted me. Fate and the rest have no say in what goes on with your true self… I was chosen to guard it, and all who wish to even see it must go through me!" Chaos blasted Jake with a blast of…
"Holy energy? Since when did you stick with the side of good? Unless… Al!" Jake yelled. "I get it now! Al is Chaos! Al is the half of Chaos that Yang removed… he is the missing link between Order and Chaos…"
"So you finally understand. I know you need your body Jake, but I can't let you use it. The powers which lie within are far to great for your feeble mind to control."
"You don't get it!"
"No, you don't get it, Jake! Within that statue are powers far beyond what you could even dream to control." Jake placed his hand on the statue, and began to glow.
"I'll show you, Chaos. I'll fight you using my true self… and I will prove to you what I can do!" Chaos grinned.
"Let's go then. Show me, Yin." Jake's body was engulfed with a beautiful white light and was instantly transformed into its true, immortal self. Large white dragon wings ripped out of Jake's back, and his eyes went from brown to gold. His hair remained black, but with a gold-white outline. His clothes were also changed, and turned into a gold-white armor. Chaos soon found himself bowing before Yin, against his will. "Y, you look the same as you did all those millennia ago, master…" Chaos got back on his feet. "But nevertheless, I still must make sure you can control such great power… we don't want two Yangs, now do we?" A ring of fire surrounded the two, and an armor similar to Yin's encased Chaos' body. His hair turned a dark purple and two large bat-like wings ripped out of his back. The only difference between the two armors was that Chaos' was black and he had bat wings, while Yin's was white with dragon wings.
"Ready, Chaos?"
"Of course." Chaos charged at Yin, throwing several punches, each of which Yin dodged with amazing speed. Yin warped behind Chaos and hit Chaos' back, and sent him flying. "Your just as strong as when we last sparred… do you remember that, master?" Chaos asked. Yin smiled.
"Yes. You always were a promising student. The fact that you let Yang corrupt you, however, is something I'll never forgive. You were a valuable ally, Chaos."
"And I still am. Yang doesn't know it, but when Dan and I were fighting here in the antiverse, something happened. I changed, I was the way I should have been."
"And when Yang freed you, you probably took Dan with you, right?"
"Of course. I told Yang he was my prisoner, and that I had won the battle, while in truth, it was the exact opposite. Dan is somewhere in Yang's army now, another puppet for the 'great puppeteer' to add to his collection."
"I see. Take me back to earth, a lot of my powers have yet to return to me."
"Yes, master."
… … … … …
"And so it begins!" Yang screamed to the heavens. The oceans and seas had all turned to magma, and the cities had all been set ablaze and destroyed. "This world has been forsaken, and my beautiful world comes into fruition." Yang's massive army cheered and the earth had been completely sent to the antiverse. Its inhabitants, however, have been left on the planet as slaves for Yang's dark empire.
"YANG!" Yin screamed. Yang turned his head and saw his brother, a sword in hand, with a massive army of his own, an army of the light. "It ends now! The day has come for your destruction at last!"
"Au contraire, my brother. You and Jake are now just another slave in my empire. The prophecy states that I will rule over all."
"No. I won't allow it… we won't allow it!" The entire front line of the massive army was composed of the Council, while the back was of all the remaining humans and magical creatures. "This is your end. I will kill you at last, Yang, and rid this world of its greatest threat, forever!"
TO BE CONTINUED
So the final battle begins. Yin and Jake have finally become one again, Chaos is back on the side of good, and Yang makes his final move toward his supposed victory. This is it, the final battle. Till next time…
